Important Articles of Indian Constitution: Preamble of the Indian Constitution

According to the preamble, the solemn determination of the Indian people to create a “Sovereign Socialist Secular Democratic Republic” and accomplish the aims listed in the preamble led to the creation of the Indian constitution. The word “sovereignty” denotes total and utmost authority. It could be real or typical, political or governmental, individual or pluralistic. In monarchies, the rulers were the monarchs themselves. Republican forms of government, which predominate primarily in the modern world, cede sovereignty to the elected representatives of the people.
